Dave Lombardo Hoping For Slayer Return
. He was dismissed days before the band toured Australia in March, with guitarist Kerry King reporting there had been a contractual argument, and later adding that frontman Tom Araya had had doubts over Lombardo's position for some time. The move means Slayer have been on the road with two stand-in men: former sticksman Jon Dette, and Exodus guitarist Gary Holt, who's deputising for spider-bite victim Jeff Hanneman. Asked about the band's planned appearance in Greece in July, Lombardo tells Rock Overdose: "I hope to be there – but I don't know. "My fans were so supportive.

I don't do anything else – music is my passion and my life." Find out what he is doing while he waits Classic Rock Magazine is an official news provider for antiMusic.com.
